Spooky Stuffed Peppers

These Jack-O-Lantern peppers aren’t just about the novelty Halloween factor, they also taste amazing and make a really filling and healthy meal. Inside they are filled with quinoa, spinach, feta, garlic and onions... Terrifyingly good!

Ingredients

• 4 orange peppers

• 95 g 1/2 cup quinoa, uncooked

• 3/4 pint 1 1/2 cups vegetable stock

• 1 small onion, diced

• 1 garlic clove, minced

• 2 handfuls of baby leaf spinach

• 100 g 2/3 cup feta cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 190c.

2. Pour the vegetable stock into a saucepan with the quinoa. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, or until all the liquid has been absorbed by the quinoa.

3. Whilst you're waiting for the quinoa to cook, chop off the tops of the peppers (keep for later) and remove the seeds from inside. Then carefully carve jack-o-lantern faces into the orange peppers using a small knife.

4. Just before all the liquid is absorbed, add the onions and garlic to cook for 5 minutes. Add a little more water and reduce heat if it begins to dry out too quickly.

5. Then add the baby leaf spinach and let it wilt.

6. Take off the heat then crumble in the feta cheese. Stir and spoon into the peppers.

7. Put in the oven to cook for 15-20 minutes until piping hot and the skin of the pepper has softened.

8. Transfer to a plate and enjoy!
